Fleetwood vs QPR Prediction
QPR are the higher ranked team and will start as the marginal favourites. However, the capital side have not been in the best of form in recent weeks, with their three-game winless run seeing them plummet down the Championship standings.
Fleetwood, meanwhile, claimed a comprehensive victory over the weekend and will fancy their chances of progressing to the fourth round. The Fishermen tend to be involved in high-scoring games, which goes in contrast with QPR's conservative approach.
The game could be a keenly contested affair, but the visitors should claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
